I've only read the first book in this series but I have the second on my Kindle ready to go. I completely adore the covers - I was actually just thinking that it was silly for me to buy the second book on my Kindle as I'm clearly going to have to buy a paper copy now so I can have it on my shelf! I'm thinking about picking up the short stories too - I'm not usually huge on the related-but-not-strictly-necessary companion novella thing. But, in this case I just DO NOT GET the appeal of Aspen, at all. For me it's no contest between the two guys. So maybe reading Aspen's story would help flesh him out for me a bit more.
